Frequently, when I mention my involvement in Toastmasters, people express an interest in participating themselves.
This week, there’s a perfect opportunity to find out what it’s all about — our club (Podemos Hablar) is holding an open house!
Here are the details:
Date: Monday, November 10, 2014
Time: 6:00 p.m.
Where: La Fiesta Restaurant (2329 Apalachee Parkway, Tallahassee, Florida, 32301)
(Note: one reason I was attracted to this particular club is that it is a Bilingual Toastmasters Club (Spanish/English). It is especially helpful for people trying to improve their Spanish (or for Spanish speakers trying to improve their English). But don’t let that stop you from joining our open house — there are speakers of all levels.)
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to let me know!

Frecuentemente, cuando hablo de mi participación en Toastmasters, todos expresan su interés en participar ellos tambien.
Esta semana, hay una oportunidad perfecta para descubrir de qué se trata – de nuestro club (Podemos Hablar) está ofreciendo exhibición publica!
Aquí están los detalles:
Fecha: Lunes, 10 de noviembre 2014
Hora: 18:00 (6:00 p.m.)
Dónde: La Fiesta Restaurant (2329 Apalachee Parkway, Tallahassee, Florida, 32301)
(Nota:.. Una de las razones que me atraido a este club en particular es que este club es bilingüe (Español / Inglés). Es especialmente útil para las personas que tratan de mejorar su español (o para los hispanohablantes que tratan de mejorar su Inglés. Pero no dejes que eso te detenga de asistir la exhibición publica – hay hablantes de todos los niveles).
Si usted tiene alguna pregunta, haz favor de comunicármelo.

Kudos to you for speaking in Spanish. It’s hard enough without using a foreign language too!
